Sir, you have gained a fan.

I think that in any line of business, going back on your word for little concrete reason isn't done. Vergne could have waited.

Applause

Many older than him could do well to read this masterclass in humility and objective maturity.

2 things:

"In january I had some conversations which might be decisive in my future with one of the top F1 teams"

"I have started to learn German daily"

Mercedes test driver TBA at the moment.. post Schumacher/Rosberg race drive on the cards..?

Think

Great article.

Cudos to Jaimie for his approach and attitude, shows a maturity well beyond his years.

Torro Rosso - shame on you, however this kind of behaviour is not new to them or the Red Bull programme, just ask Brendan Hartly, well respected F1 test driver with Red Bull, competing in different racing series for them, then suddenly without reason half way through the year, he also gets told not to show up for work on Monday.

I can't accept STR's argument that they are in F1 as a talent scout/feeder team to RBR. If this is their only purpose the FIA should do what it idoes best at and come up with some legislation to ban them

Just the latest in a series of raw deals and shabby treatment from the Red Bull driver development program. For such a top team they have very little class. Doesn't reflect well on them but they appear not to care much about that. And their product sucks too! The extended 15 minutes will end soon.

Other than the obvious single exception, who has contributed more to giving F1 driver talent; Minardi, Sauber and Jordan...or RBR?

It's sponsorship and door opening though, not just the physical drive in the car - Red Bull sponsored Sauber back in 1995 remember, and have been around ever since

True, but it doesn't in any way vindicate them for their quite shabby treatment of drivers.
